Role of multiple minijets in high-energy hadronic reactions

The multiplicity distributions of charged particles in high-energy hadron collisions including the production of multiple minijets are considered in the framework of the eikonal formalism. Large-multiplicity events at high energies are found to be dominated by the production of many jets with $2\le P_T\le 4$ GeV. The contributions from larger-$P_T$ minijets become prevailing for high-multiplicity fluctuations in narrow rapidity intervals.
